Impact Soundworks Peak Rider 2.1.6 macOS
A revolutionary new approach to dynamics processing, now upgraded and more powerful than ever! Peak Rider 2 smoothly detects the dynamics and frequencies of a sidechain signal (external or generated), using it to process the main input in one of 5 ways. From vocal riding to drum shaping, transient design, precision EQ and beyond, the creative possibilities are endless!
Peak Rider 2 is a supremely powerful dynamics plugin. Unlike any other kind of dynamics processor, Peak Rider 2 is like a whole arsenal of FX and mix plugins combined into one, with a totally new approach to handling any kind of audio material.
At its heart, Peak Rider 2 uses three detection modes to analyzes a sidechain signal and creates a smooth, continuous ‘envelope’ from it. This envelope can be split into stereo or frequency bands, EQed, and used to control your main input with 5 unique processing modes. The sidechain can be anything at all, and PR2 can even generate its own signal using a built-in synth.
Whether PR2 uses boost or attenuation totally depends on the sidechain and input material, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
Here are just a few uses:
✓ Make huge boosts and cuts without affecting volume or loudness
✓ Use a drum track’s own envelope and adjust it, effectively becoming a very powerful multi-band transient designer
✓ Match the peaks of a rhythmic track to a static synth, creating an all-new part full of life and motion
✓ Level the volume of an unruly vocal by matching it to a set volume
✓ Saturate and distort any instrument without losing any dynamics at all
✓ Seamlessly remove mic bleed from a noisy isolated track
